Ingredients

2 c. all-purpose flour

2½ tsp. baking powder

¼ tsp. salt

6 tbsp. butter

½ c. whole milk

1 large Egg

5 slice cooked bacon

3 tbsp. green onions

¼ tsp. salt

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a medium cookie sheet with parchment paper.

In a food processor, pulse the flour, baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt until combined. Add butter and pulse until coarse crumbs form throughout. Transfer the flour mixture to large bowl. Make a well in center of flour. Put the milk, egg, dill, bacon, green onion, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt into the well.

With a rubber spatula, stir the liquid mixture into the flour until combined. Gently knead the dough with your hands just until it starts to come together. Transfer the dough to work surface; pat it into an 8- by 4-inch rectangle. Cut into six 4-inch-long rectangles; transfer the scones to the prepared cookie sheet. Bake 20 to 22 minutes, or until golden brown. Cool on pan on wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
